Prof. Palmer in speech at the last com
mencement, said upon this subject
have recently undertaken an investiga-
ton into the generality of expenses at Har-
vard have made out and sent to each
member of the graduating class circular,
asking him to state to me what his college
course had actually cost | desired him to
include in his estimate not only tuition,
board, and lodging, but also books, clothes,
amusements, subscriptions, in fact, every
item, with the exception Of the expenses
for class day and the summer vacations
The number of replies has been very
large indeed To my surprise, out Of 235
men actually in residence Of the graduating
class, 2lS or 03 per cent, have reported
to me | think | cannot be wrong in sup
posing that this readiness to state is in it.
self an evidence Of sober conduct | have
requested my correspondents in every case
of doubtful estimates, to report TO me the
larger figure.
What, then, is the result Out of 91S
men who have replied to me, SO, or about
one-fourth Of the class, have spent between
SiOO and 5000 year throughout the four
years of their study here. Fifty three, or
again about one fourth, have spent between
$3.50 and 1919. But 81, hardly more than
une-fourth of the class, have spent larger
sum than 81 200 year. The smallest sum
reported to me as spent in a year has been
S4OO, the largest $4,000.
If you ask me, then, what will be a suit
able allowance, ! can state it to you in sew
eral classes, If your son is something like
an artist in economy, he may live here un-
der $500 year. If he is able to live close
ly, carefully, and vet with due regard to
all that he requires, he may easily accom-
plish it on between 5000 and $500 If you
wish him to live here at ease, from $500 TO
$1,000 may be well expended l should be
very confident that every dollar given him
over 5 POO was dollar of danger.

Foreigners here are apt to complain bit
terly of what they consider Mexican insin-
cerity but the fault is chiefly on the part
of the foreigners themselves for attaching
too much Importance to the common phrase
Este ell en- disposition de "" Ut is at

ly used as Il am happy to see you Il
shall be happy TO come" etc, at home,

true. Here everything is placed lat your

Mr.. Fred Ober relates how, when he
came here first an exceedingly bashful
young bachelor, these profuse offers embar-
assed him considerably. Riding beside his
guide, soon after landing, he happened to
express admiration for the horse the latter
rode, and inquired if it were his own. Isl,
senior, replied the man, land yours also "
He ventured but one more question that

The weather was hot we were tired,
and did not care TO go TO theatres, if any
of them were open. The pleasantest hours
were those of our afternoon drive in the
Champs Elys6es and the Bois de Boulogne
or "the Boulogne woods, as our Ameri-
can tailor's wife of the old time called the
favorite place for driving, In passing the
Place de la Concorde, two objects in espe-
cial attracted my attention-the obelisk,
which was lying, when left it, in the great
scow which brought it from the Nile, and
the statue of Strasbourg, all covered with
wreaths and flags. How like children these
Parisians do act crying "A Berlin d Ber-
lin % and when Berlin comes TO Paris, and
Strasbourg goes back TO her old proprie-

than to defeat

Bois de Boulogne so well grown l had an
idea that they had been largely sacrificed

shrieking parrots and other birds and the
yelping dogs in the grounds of the society

4 recent decision Of the supreme court
of Illinois will interest all who are in the
habit Of riding ON the rail without ques-
tioning whether track and rolling stock be
long to "A prosperous or a bankrupt corpor-
alton. About "A year ago the attorney gen
eral of Illinois, acting for the people, pet-
toned the circuit court at Springfield for a
writ of mandamus to compel the Ohio x
Mississippi railroad company TO put its
tracks into safe condition and to run a
sufficient number of trains for the accom-
modation Of its patrons. The writ was
granted by the circuit court, but the case
was appealed by the railroad company to
the higher court
The company pleaded that their affairs
were in bankrupt condition, that during
the last / years their running expenses
had exceeded the gross earnings 10y SILL
600, and therefore they were in no condi-
ton to make the necessary repairs, al
though they admitted their road to be in an
unsafe condition. The opponents of the
railroad, on the other hand, arguing that
the road was in an unsafe condition and
that the lives and limbs of its patrons were
endangered 10y the neglect to repair, urged
the need Of compelling repairs by writ of
mandamus.
After full consideration the court decides
that the writ of maudamus cannot be is
sued against the company in this case, ow-
ing to its bankrupt condition, although life
and limb are endangered 1t is held there
by that it is a legal impossibility to compel
Il company in "A bankrupt condition 10 do
certain things that require good credit or
cash. The court says that the only rene
dy by which life and limb can be protected
is for the state to institute quo-warranto
proceedings, revoke the charter and wind
up the affairs of the company-a slow, diff
iicult, and complicated proceeding.
The real meaning Of this decision would
appear TO be that travellers on the road of
bankrupt corporation must neither ex-
pect of the law protection from injury nor
damages for il.

The Cumberland Plaque.

Almost every year about this time, says
the New York Times, there comes down
from the Cumberland mountains news that
hundreds of the people in that region are
dying of a peculiar disease. Our despatch
es, recently received, show that the inhabi-
tants Of the counties which have suffered
so severely in the past will not escape this
year, for POO persons have died of the NAL
ady in Mcdowell county, West Virginia,
since the last week of July. In some neigh
borhoods not family has been spared
Farm work is neglected, for all who are
well are busily employed in caring for the
sick and burying the dead
There are about ten counties in which
this disease-filth dysentery-usually ap-
pears in the fall They lie at the intersec-
tion of three statcs-Bell, Harlan, Letcher,
Pike and Martin counties in Kentucky; Lee,
Wise and Dickinson in Virginia, and Logan
and Mcdowell in. West Virginia. We have
heard this year from Mcdowell, and it is
probable that some of the other counties
are suffering in the same way. The NOR
tality from this cause was very large in all
these counties three years ago. There was
no rain in that region from August 3 until
November 20. There was no running wa
ter in the mountain streams, and the farm
ers wells gave out The people drank the
foul liquid that was found in pools and pud
dies along the courses Of the creeks It was
no better than so much sewage. If any
water could be found in the wells, il was
frightfully polluted by soakage from sta
bles, hnrnyards and vaults In these wells
and i'm the creeks there was nothing but
the dregs Of the ordinary supply. With
decaying vegetation and sewage there was
mingled, it is said, solutions Of mineral de
posits which come into the streams only in
times Of severe drouth although the viru
lence Of the disease caused by the use Of
the foul fluid could be accounted for with
out reference to mineral poisons,
There can no longer be any doubt as to
the real nature Of this annual epidemic or
its cause. The effect Of 50 much sickness
and 50 great mortality in such sparsely
populated districts is always most distress

| Before November some " these had died Of
| overwork or the disease which they had
been trying to stamp out Many isolated
families were swept away in few hours
Little settlements lost one fourth or even
| onc-haf of their inhabitants 1t was esti
mated that in a few weeks 1900 persons
died of the plague The cattle also died.
For two successive seasons the crops had
been very light, and the poverty of the
| people largely increased the death rate.
The health authorities Of the states in
which these counties lie can do very little
| for the unfortunate inhabitants. The en-
tire region is far from railroads, and has
scarcely any communication with the out
side world
